I love it when I have surreal conversations with technical support people. My Cox Cable DVR box has reset itself three times in the past 1 1/2 hours. When it does this, I'm without the boob tube for anywhere from 5-10 minutes. So, out of 90 minutes, the box is rebooting from anywhere from 15 […]

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds, an "abortion rights supporter" in journalism parlance, has an interesting post on abortion and the "duty to rescue." In layman's terms, it's the concept that being a good Samaritan cannot be required of someone. I'm not going to address Glenn's position on abortion -- it's well-thought out and I'm not going to […]

On Wednesday night, CBS News broke into "CSI: N.Y." to report the death of Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat -- angering viewers who didn't get to see the show's exciting conculsion! With just a few minutes to go before the 11 p.m. local newscast, this was a bad call. A crawl along the bottom of the […]

I'm glad that the verdict in the Scott Peterson case came in today -- guilty -- but not because I've been one of those people breathlessly following the case. This will quash the fawning coverage of Yasser Arafat's burial.

Three years ago today, I started this blog and it's been a blast. I've been privileged to converse with some wonderful people over the years, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Carter was seen as an honest man -- and that was what mattered. After four years of malaise and general incompetence, he was turned out of office. He […]

I've said it many times, but I don't spend a lot of time visiting the innumerable lefty blog sites. I find enough to get annoyed by and blog about from just reading the mainstream media. Also, that time can be much better spent blasting covenant aliens. Other bloggers are far more intrepid than I, specifically […]

It's a travesty that an evil, unrepentant terrorist like Yasser Arafat got to die in his sleep. CNN's graphic is also particularly disgusting. Will Osama bin Laden get similar treatment when we finally send him to meet his maker? The man was a terrorist. He was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. […]

You can sometimes find some interesting things regarding the state of journalism on the bulletin board. Someone posted New York Times reporter Fox Butterfield's annual article on the drop in the crime rate. Despite Drop in Crime, an Increase in Inmates By FOX BUTTERFIELD The number of inmates in state and federal prisons rose 2.1 […]

I was one of the thousands of video game nuts that went out at midnight and waited in line to buy Halo 2. Several of my friends got together and played the game until the wee hours of the morning. We're all single adults and I work nights, so this was not outrageous as far […]
